Small and Dramatic

This image shows an impact crater surrounded by smaller craters which are possibly secondaries from Rustaveli. The crater has a small central peak or floor mound, whereas the nearby craters are simple. The central crater has a sharper rim and fresher appearance than the other craters, suggesting that it is younger. The smaller craters are more degraded and less dramatic showing the passage of time on Mercury.
